Open carrying at King's Wok in Silverdale:
I had my wife and both daughters with me, returning from loading up a plate. A gentleman from another table comes up to me, from behind, places his hand on my strong side shoulder and says "Open carry is illegal here."
My reply in a calm voice, "um, welcome to Washington, it is legal here." His reply "I have lived here all my life, no it's not and you are going to get in trouble." He then sat back down at the next table over and I sat down with my family.
If he really really thought it was illegal, why would he just sit back down and do nothing else? And why in Bogs name would you walk up BEHIND someone and touch them? He is rather lucky I am NOT jumpy or a combat veteran or his wrist would likely be
broken.
I am curious what others replies would ave been or should have been. Wife says "Not according to my research" my choice"Could you tell me which RCW I am violating?"
